About me

I can understand that looking for therapy can be overwhelming.

My main priority is to create a comfortable space where you can feel supported and listened to.

Having the courage to acknowledge personal difficulties and asking for help is the very important first step! Our sessions will be a non-judgmental safe space where I will respect your own pace and will support you to share your difficulties when you feel comfortable to do so. Our work together will include the opportunity to reflect and to be heard, processing difficult emotions, but also practical exercises to empower you to create positive change in your life and break old habits. My approach is flexible, we will be working as a team, where we will agree together on a personalized treatment plan specifically tailored to your needs. Hopefully, by the end of our sessions you will have a ‘toolkit’ with a range of techniques and exercises that you would be able to use whenever life brings you challenges. Therapies I offer: CBT – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - A psychotherapy with a large amount of evidence-based research on its efficacy for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression.

I can help you develop coping strategies to manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviours IPT – Interpersonal Therapy - focused on improving relationships, resolving conflicts, support managing grief and adjusting to difficulty life transitions NET – Narrative Exposure Therapy - designed to support overcoming complex Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) I also use elements of Mindfulness and Compassionate Focused Therapy as I feel that kindness and compassion resonates with my therapeutic approach. I have experience working for adult primary care mental health settings through an NHS therapy service in London I always endeavor to train in the most up to date clinical interventions and attend clinical supervision regularly. I can offer a free 15min telephone consultation for any questions you might have.
